Hayes enjoying his staycation

I was recommended to Hydrant by a very close family friend, and I'm so glad I listened. As a first-time dog mom, I was hesitant about leaving Hayes for a trip. After getting a tour, I felt so much more comfortable, and once I saw how much fun my dog was having, all my worries disappeared. The staff is truly amazing. Daisy, in particular, is incredible--she cares so much and makes you feel confident and at ease. The facility itself is spotless, welcoming, and full of positive energy. I loved that I received updates and pictures while I was away, which made the whole experience stress-free. To all the new dog moms out there, this is the place that will put your mind at ease. Hayes will definitely be coming back for play days and for any future trips. They also offer grooming, which was such a great bonus! Thank you to the entire staff for taking such wonderful care of Hayes. Much love!

UPDATE: We just got home and took a look at our cat and she lost a significant amount of weight. She was there from Friday morning to Monday evening, and when I picked her up, I asked the staff if she ate well during the stay or if there were any problems. The lady told me that our cat had trouble eating the first day (Friday) but that she had no problems eating the following days. If this is true, then why did she lose so much weight?? She was supposed to eat three meals a day (kibble and a squeeze tube) like she does at home. I will not be bring my cats back here. I cannot trust what the staff says, and like the other reviews, I feel that they have a strong preference for dogs and cater to their needs over the cats. Smells like urine inside of the building... really strong urine smell mixed with fragrance to cover it up. Last time is wasn't as bad but this time, it was headache inducing. The pet store and vets office doesn't smell this bad, not sure why Hydrant Pet Hotel would. Our pets items came home smelling really bad.

Jojo, the dog that hates other dogs and not sleeping 18 hours a day when her mean humans board her.

We are so grateful for Hydrant and its staff for taking such good care of JoJo, our Australian labradoodle. We have boarded with them multiple times and I can relax on vacation because she is in good hands. Ms. jojo is happiest when she is in her home and with her people but we know Hydrant is the best alternative because of the private room and personalized care. Most recently we boarded her for over a week for our wedding and honeymoon. She had some issues with eating (it happens when one of us is out of town so I was not surprised it happened during boarding) and they were in frequent contact with us and went above and beyond with one on one time and giving her different foods to spark the appetite. Our wedding party erupted in cheers when I got the report that she had eaten some food. We know our dog hates being away from us but we have to get away sometimes and we know Hydrant is the best alternative. And then of course when she was dropped off at my mother in laws (because we were still on our honeymoon) she reported JoJo cried when the caretaker dropped her off . I really don't understand the reviews complaining about no refunds. They lose money if a boarding reservation ends early and that is a price I will happily pay to pick up my dog early if something comes up. Thank you to staff for treating JoJo like one of your own and for the good communication we receive. We looked all over for a facility we felt our dog would be comfortable with and I can promise they provide top notch care (especially for a dog that hates being away from her parents and home.)

This is overdue but the Hydrant Pet Hotel is amazing! I had a last minute cancellation from my dog sitter a week before our trip to Cabo and happy to have found this gem of a place. I 1st spoke to Lyndsey who was so helpful to reassure me how they operate and went in for a tour. Upon arrival, Stacey (manager) gave me a tour and I could see that the staff really loves and takes pride of making sure all pups are happy, looked after, and having fun. My pups Nala and Cloud were happy each time we'd pick them up from day care and after our trip. I will definitely be using the Hydrant Pet Hotel for day care and boarding for future!

Our pups LOVE playing at Hydrant!

Our pups love going to play at hydrant. The staff clearly love the animals. We are very happy with hydrants daycare and boarding services.

There are so many doggy daycares in Orange County, but most of them seem out-of-date, facilities-wise. After looking at endless Yelp pages and websites, I decided to check out Hydrant. Cheeto (my dog) has been doing daily daycare with them for the last 6 months and will continue to do so. The building itself is the most modern I have seen in OC and also has outdoor play areas (solid balance between indoor and outdoor). The staff is absolutely amazing and are incredibly thoughtful. You can tell that everyone cares about the dogs that come in. They are reachable by text and are quick to respond, which I think is super convenient. Excellent customer service here. I would highly recommend Hydrant to anyone who is considering daycare for their pup. I always appreciate the recap of Cheeto's day when I pick him up. He always has a blast with his friends here.

The "AFTER" pic....after a fun afternoon making new friends and a Bath !
Monet L.

At the recommendation of our dog trainer, I brought our 6 month old Bernedoodle ENZO, to keep him socialized and give me a break some afternoons when I go into the office. Enzo had the time of his life and made so many friends !! The ladies that run the business are awesome! You can tell they love what they do! Hydrant Pet Hotel also offers bathing! Which was another convenience!!! We would recommend this business! WOOF !!!

See all

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the attentive and caring staff, clean and spacious facility, and frequent pet updates. Dogs seem to enjoy their stays.

During my dogs stay I received daily updates, pictures, and videos. What transpired during this time I can truly call miraculous. My overly playful, rambunctious dogs transformed. I was never able to walk them because of their pulling and my fear of tripping. I am now able to walk both dogs at once! Incredible... The sit, stay, and come when called. A.J and Hayden, the trainers, never raised their voices and focus on complementing good behavior. I never heard the word "no"! They were also very patient with me as I learned the new skills it would take to carry on this training at home. My dogs had a blast! Pack walks, hikes and pup cups. I can never fully express my amazement and gratitude for the transformation. The level of professionalism while still making this fun for the dogs was beyond anything that I could have imagined. My dogs are my world and the trainers understood that completely. I cannot recommend Bark Collective enough. It was the best thing for my dogs and for me!!!

We brought him in at 13 weeks to the EveryPup Program, where he is in a clean and disinfected facility with other safe and healthy pups and he gets training every day by Dave. Almost from day 1 we started noticing huge changes, and he matured so rapidly it's like we have a different dog! He is very calm, polite and attentive, and has been able to self-regulate so well. Dave is always available for our questions and follow ups, and he sends over progress notes and photos every day from training sessions. We also would ask him about problem behavior such as counter surfing or jumping up on people to greet, and Dave would target those specific behaviors as well. We also appreciated how fast and quickly they acted on our puppy swallowing something he shouldn't have, and immediately gave him some hydrogen peroxide to get him to throw it up, which saved us from extremely expensive and likely traumatic vet visits and possible surgery. Very grateful! Every day we pick up our puppy he is so happy from a day of playing and getting love from all the staff, and is tired and ready for some cuddles and naps when he gets home. The staff here are so caring and really love each dog, I trust them to take care of our puppy. Highly recommend!

A few things I love about this location: -Live video feed I love that I can watch him while I'm working or away for the day. -Safety He can be a handful so I appreciate that the staff is constantly checking on him if he's starting to do parkour or have the extreme zoomies. I feel safe knowing the staff is confident in doggy behavior. He's energetic not aggressive -TLC The staff truly care about the well-being of our dogs I have had the staff call me on very sunny days and ask if they can put sunblock on Spooky because he does get sunburnt/pink. Those little things are what us dog parents would do for our dogs and the staff is already looking out for them. A little bonus that I appreciate as well is the offer to dry your dog before leaving if your dog was playing in the pool. To sum it up I feel like it's very hard to find a doggy daycare that I feel safe leaving my dog at especially with Spooky's breed. A lot of daycare's don't except Pitbulls or Staffys. I love that Spooky is welcomed with open arms here. Thank you guys for taking care of Spooky

I took him to the vet and they had put him on antibiotics, they gave him steroids and allergy shots and it's still 16 days after and his paws are not healed and my puppy is getting worse and lots and lots of vet bills. It is worth it to pay for a dog sitter.

I used to have no issues with Paw Sweet Paw years ago but after just brining my 1yr old rescue here twice that was enough. First time he was return smelling awful, accidents happen. Second time boarding with them (12 hours) he was returned to me COVERED in both pee and actual poop on him. Before he was return the second time, the staff told me he had a "little accident" and asked if I wanted him bathed or just wiped down. After already waiting an extra 1.5 hours because of the cut operational hours, I said just wiped down him down and I'll bath him later. It was clearly not a little accident and wasn't even wiped down. The attendant brought him out less than a minute later. Wiping down a dirty, poop covered dog would take longer than one minute. The extent of the odor took 3 baths and he is now dealing with multiple stomach issues results in vomiting and diarrhea. He also was returned with a clearly visible scab and swelling on his nose. Trying to contact management has been extremely disappointing after a very disappointing 12 hr dog boarding visit. The asst. manager seemed to be the only one to take the time to respond and discuss these issues, but very limited to how she can remedy or alleviate some of these issues. I have been waiting for a week now on Janelle, the top Manager of both locations to reach out with fur to we discussions about the incredibly low standards, cleanliness, and overall care for our pets staying there. Seems like Janelle couldn't care less for the well-being of the dogs she is being entrusted to take care of while she is the one in charge from what I've been told.

The staff are remarkable! They always work with me, as my schedule changes week-to-week. Alis gets personal attention (and lots of affection) from everyone there and she has supervised play with her friends throughout the day; I get pictures during the day showing her activities and occasional walks to the park. Every dog there gets personal recognition and mental stimulation from the staff. It really gives me comfort to know that she is expertly taken care of and always having fun! The amenities are beautiful and ALWAYS clean... no odors or messes anywhere, EVER! Alis has memorized the drive there and whines with excitement in the car ride from about 3 blocks away, when we are on our way in the morning. When I pick her up, it's a different story... she NEVER wants to leave to go home with me. When she finally gets in the car, she drops and relaxes; she is always so happy and tired! I truly, highly recommend "Home Away from Home" for your peace of mind, and for safe-play for our beloved furry friends!
